But seriously people, you’re supposed to leave enough space to be able to come to a full stop if the person in front of you were to suddenly come to a full stop.
Can you bring a 60mph car to a stop in 10 bible lengths? No? Then backup further.
I’m talking about boneheads waiting at an intersection with enough room for a bus in front of them. Then, when the light does change with me 6 or so cars back, I can’t even get through. Doesn’t help that most people have terrible reaction timing.
That kind of boneheadedness is annoying, but it’s at least just annoying and wastes a bit of time. Tailgating and driving impatiently actually gets people killed every single day.
